Hetuara is the old capital of the Later Jin Dynasty and a gathering place of Manchu nobles.

Since Nurhachi moved the capital to Shengjing, the military and political value of Hetuara has long ceased to exist, and only three Yellow Flag sergeants with Niu Lu are arranged on weekdays to guard the Tanglin Imperial Mausoleum.

When Fang Yuan led the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry to Hetuala, the Lao Manchu nobles in the city had already received the news of the Ming army's invasion, and immediately closed the city gates, and quickly organized the clothed servants in the Lao Manchu nobles' mansion to start resisting.

In these old Manchurian aristocratic mansions, almost every family has hundreds of clothed minions. Dozens or hundreds of old and Manchurian nobles in the entire city of Hetuara have also gathered nearly 10,000 clothed minions and armed them as soldiers defending the city.

When Fang Yuan arrived at the city of Hetuala, he saw that there were still a large number of militia resisting in the city, and immediately ordered the whole army to start attacking the city.

The old Manchu nobles in the city of Inhetuara are all well-off, whether it is swords, guns, bows and arrows, armor, or fire oil needed to defend the city, they are all available, which greatly enhances the city's defense. Moreover, these old Manchu nobles promised meritorious servants before the war, so that they could exempt slaves and reward a banner man status. In order to win the favor of their masters, these clothed minions who defended the city at the head of the city broke away from their slavery and fought desperately to defend the city, bursting out with combat power far exceeding that of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

Fang Yuan's strong troops attacked the city for a day in a row, losing two or three hundred soldiers, and they were still sniped under the city of Hetuala, and they didn't even climb the wall.

After a long attack, Fang Yuan was so angry that he gritted his teeth and kept observing around the walls of Hetuala.

The walls of Hetuara were only three zhang high, and Fang Yuan immediately found the key to breaking the city, and bought at least 5,000 sacks on Taobao at any cost, and ordered the sergeants to fill the sacks with soil and throw them under the city walls.

With 5,000 sandbags, you can almost reach the top of the city wall, and you can climb the city wall directly along the stacked sandbags.

Fang Yuan ordered Chigutai to give an order to the whole army and gave a heavy reward, the first to climb the head of the Hetuara wall, a reward of 1,000 taels of silver; The city was broken in one day, and each person was rewarded with a hundred taels, and those who died in battle were to be received by their parents, wives and children.

For the huge reward of silver, the Xuanjia sergeants scrambled one by one, and launched one after another onslaught at the city wall along the sandbags.

The clothed minions defending the city did not have the advantage of the city wall, and their armament and combat power were far inferior to the Xuanjia sergeants, so they were left with only one rotten life, and they used human lives to pave a flesh-and-blood defense line to snipe the onslaught of the Xuanjia sergeants.

On the city wall, the sound of shouting and shouting and killing was endless, and the sound spread for miles.

The fierce battle for the city wall lasted for a whole day, and after the tragic death of 4,000 people, the clothed minions finally could not resist the attack and began to flee into the city.

The walls that had been held for two days were finally lost!

The city gate was lost, and the old Manchu nobles began to organize the remaining clothed minions to retreat to the mansion in the city, and started a street battle, preparing to fight Fang Yuan to the end.

Fang Yuan saw that these old and manchurian nobles were smelly and hard stones in the latrine, and he was determined to resist to the end. If you storm the mansions, it will not only delay the time, but also waste the troops.

In order to win the war as soon as possible, he simply bought tens of thousands of taels of silver of industrial alcohol on Taobao, as well as calcium carbide, and began to set fire to the city of Hetuala, whether it was the warehouses of the government, the barracks, or the houses of nobles and civilians, directly set on fire.

In less than half a day, the entire city of Hetuara was plunged into a raging sea of fire, and thick smoke rose into the sky, staining half of the sky.

Most of the old Manchurian nobles who were cowering in the mansion couldn't stand the smoke and fire, and opened the door of the mansion and fled. Anyone who escaped from the mansion was captured one by one by the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry.

All the family property in the house was looted, and all the tiger skins, bear skins, and mink coats were also moved to the Xuanjia military camp. It was late October, and the bitter cold of Liaodong was coming, and these animal skin coats were used to keep the sergeants warm.

The young and strong people over the age of thirteen in each province were all executed on the spot, leaving only the noble patriarchs, clan elders, and young Manchu noble women over the age of thirteen. In two days, there were 1 or 2,000 noble patriarchs and clan elders who were arrested, and 2 or 3,000 women.

These patriarchs, clan elders, and small Manchu nobles under the age of thirteen, Fang Yuan was going to bring them back to the capital to offer prisoners, and if they encountered war, they could still be used as hostages; The women were all dragged to the old imperial city and handed over to the sergeants under their command to be happy and happy, and the sergeants had been fighting for a month in a row, and they should have some fun.

Fang Yuan divided the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry into four teams, one team of guards and clan elders, one team was responsible for guarding the city wall to detect whether there was any information about the Manchu cavalry chasing them, one team patrolled the city to prevent people from making random sneak attacks, and the other team began to rape these Manchu noble women.

Four teams of Xuanjia Iron Riders, six hours in shifts, a total of only two days to relax and have fun.

When the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, whenever they encountered resistance, it ended in the slaughter of the city, and the rape of the Xuanjia army against the woman was just a small thing, and it was just a tooth for a tooth.

After capturing Hetuala, Fang Yuan ransacked at least half of the nobles in the city and seized 220,000 taels of silver. In order to reward the soldiers for their bravery in battle, the sergeants, who had eaten compressed biscuits for nearly a month, bought a large number of braised pork, luncheon meat, and canned fish with bean juice on Taobao for the soldiers of the whole army to improve their food.

There are not only women playing fun, but also food entrances, and a large amount of silver rewards, the entire Xuanjia Army is military spirit and high morale, and the other party is wholeheartedly supportive and dares to serve to the death.

In the past two days, Fang Yuan also found free time to go to the Tangling Tomb to bury Nurhachi and dozens of people from the Manchu royal family.

Fang Yuan stood in front of Nurhachi's mausoleum, staring at the tombstone, the hero who founded the three-hundred-year-old Manchu dynasty lying quietly on the ground. Even if you lay thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, in the end it will only return to three feet of loess.

Chigutai behind him asked, "Fang Junmen, do you want to destroy all the Manchurian royal tombs?!" ”

Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "Destroying the ancestral tombs of the Manchu royal family will not do any good to fight for the world except to arouse the common hatred and hatred of the Manchu people. Nurhachi, although he is an enemy, is a generation of heroes after all, so let him be buried in the ground! ”

The battle on the battlefield is a duel between heroes, destroying people's ancestral graves, and that is a dirty method.

In addition to dealing with Shang Kexi, a traitor who took the resources of the Ming Dynasty to take refuge in the Manchurians, Fang Yuan would not easily destroy people's ancestral graves.

Of course, Fang Yuan did not destroy Nurhachi's mausoleum, and another important reason was to leave room for peace talks between the two sides. If the mausoleum of the Manchu royal family is destroyed, the two sides will have a life-and-death enmity, forcing Huang Taiji to fight to the death with Daming, which is really more than worth the loss.

Fang Yuan bought a digital camera on Taobao that automatically prints photos, as well as a digital DV machine, and prepared to print out the photos after taking them, which will be used as a commemorative treasure and evidence of his return to the dynasty to celebrate.

He first was in front of Nurhachi's mausoleum, dressed in the military uniform of the Xuanjia Army, holding high the battle flag of the Xuanjia Army, and compared the ceremony of the Han Hussar General Huo Qu's illness and sealing the wolf Juxu, and sacrificed to heaven and earth, and took photos and videos of the whole process.

Then ordered Chigutai to lead the middle and high-level officers of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry to ride high-headed horses and run around Tangling, showing off their might; If the sergeant is willing to take a photo, he will take a family photo according to one family portrait of one hundred households.

Third, Fang Yuan planted all the battle flags of the Xuanjia Army on the city wall of Hetuara to show his prestige, and personally rode his horse and stood in front of the city gate with his sword raised to take pictures.

In the end, Fang Yuan found a large piece of stone, placed it at the gate of Tanglin, and carved two lines of words on the boulder, "Recalling the past, sealing the wolf Juxu, although it is far away, it will be punished; Looking at the present dynasty, Leshi Dongling, although it is strong, it will be killed. ”

sealed the wolf Juxu, who praised Huo to go to the sick and chased away the Huns; Le Shi Dongling was used by Fang Yuan to commemorate the exploits of going deep behind enemy lines this time, and he compared himself to Huo Quai, who sealed the wolf Juxu.

After all this work was done, it was time to leave Hetuara and evacuate south.

Fang Yuan counted the number of Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, and the number of people who crossed the sea and attacked was 8,000, and after nearly a month of fierce fighting, 870 people had been lost, and only about 7,000 people remained; Although the horses were continuously consumed, more horses were captured, and there were 18,000 horses when they landed, and now there are 25,000.

Chigutai combined four teams of Xuanjia Army sergeants into three teams, with 3,000 people in the front team, and opened the way first; The Chinese army consisted of 1,000 people, and the 1,000 or 2,000 Manchurian nobles who guarded the captives; The rear army of 3,000 people was in charge of the rear of the palace.

The army left Hetuala, turned south, and marched towards Dongningwei.
